  • all I can say is you are great!! I am going to try to make them right now, you made it look easy : ) thanks!

  • ... i should have bought more pablanos..

  • very authentic im makin some rite now

  • good job looks good

    

  • The tamatillo is a berry and is related to the gooseberry.

  • Wow Americans makins Latin dish where we're you all my life.:)

  • Never ever rinse the pepper after u roast it... Makes all the difference in the world!!

  • This looks sexy.

  • MMmmmmmm! looks so good! great job for a white guy, (i'm Mexican) cant wait to do this recepie.

  • gettin' hungry now...Mmmm :)

  • WOW, your a handsome chef and I like the sound of your voice!

  • Comment removed

  • Good job! Love it -3

  • que rico :p

  • Nice Job for a white guy...LOL. Being Mexican, and making my own Chili Rellenos, I'm impressed

  • Tomatillos aren't related to tomatoes or peppers, they're related to cape gooseberries, according to Wikipedia. Chipotles aren't burned jalapenos. They are dried, fully ripened jalapenos which are smoked.

  • good tip my mom taught me is to dip the chiles in the flour first then in the egg batter, the egg will hold on to the chile better...enjoyed the video!!

  • simply great! thank you!

  • why didn't you show the when you coat the chiles with the egg and frying them?

  • If u want ur chile relleno to hold nice and firm; it would be best to coat them in flour first and then the egg!!! Dont mix the flour and the egg together; they should be in separete bowls!!!

  • Anaheims are hotter than Poplanos. Poplanos are more traditional. You could have roasted the cumin a little for more flavor. Montery jack is very untraditional. You want to wiki Chili Relleno before opening a mexican restaraunt, but you did a very nice video.

  • I did not get as exotic as your recipe, but I had so much fun making my own Chili Reeenos! cool, if you mix it with two glasses of wine beforehand as I did, it seems as though it tastes just as good as yours ~~ Love you splendid complicated recipe' Wanna come to my house to make your version?: LOV=L

  • Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a English version, glad I found one. Good job.

  • Made this a couple of years ago from your video and they were so good that my wife asked me to make 'em again for Cinco De Mayo tomorrow. Now I get to spend all day in the kitchen again. Woo Hoo !!! I'll letcha know how it turns out. Thanks again

  • OMG! you did a greeeeat job! i usually do them on the stove, but its easier to do it in the oven.. especially for the difficult ones. where did you learn how to do them?

    hey but you know what? if you add a little flour to your egg mixture, and like giadalu said.. cover your chiles with flour and oh my good!

  • Just want to be clear, the whole coating is whipped egg whites with the returned yolkes. No other spices, or powders?

  • @cliffcox66, I mix some salt into the yolks before I fold them in, but I don't use any other ingredients for the coating. I have tried mixing some flour into it as well, but it doesn't hold the form as well.

  • @simplestep

    Try coating the roasted chiles with the all purpose flour instead of putting the flour in the eggs mixture. The flour will make the egg to stick to the chile a lot better and it will be easier to fry it.

    Just try to do a light coat of flour or you will end up with a thicker egg coat...it all depends if you want a thicker coat or just a little.

  • To make this great recipe even healthier and low in fat skip the egg and the frying part and instead just put the chiles in a small baking dish, pour the sauce on top of them and bake at 325 F for 10-15 minutes or until you see the cheese is melting or starting to float.

    Take it out of the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese (the same kind you are using or replace it with 2% "Queso Quesadilla" , "String Cheese", or "Mozarella low fat") and serve. Bon Appetite :)

  • how much chicken broth do you use?

  • @ThePinkBubbles87, Use just enough to the get the consistency you want. The broth is actually not even necessary if you want it nice and thick. Just salt to taste.

  • AWW q lindo es una buena receta; orgullosa de ser mexican haha!!

  • Very nicely done. Thank you.

  • I AM THE QUEEN OF THE CHILE RELLENO

    1 TIP: BEFORE DOING THE EGG ... YOU MIGHT JUST WANT TO COVER THEM WITH A LITTLE FLOUR AND THEM PUT THEM IN THE EGG .. IT HELPS THE EGG STICK AND NOT FALL

  • So I made it your way this afternoon, it was fricking delicious! My peppers fell apart slightly after roasting but they turned out ok once I held them together with the sticks. I aso changed the batter slightly, I mixed some flour and beer in with the egg yolk before folding in the whites. Some spanish rice and beans on the side I was a winner for the afternoon! Thanks for the video :)

  • @Apollosviper - Great idea with the flour and beer! I've been adding flour to my egg batter lately as well. Glad you enjoyed it!

  • wow thanks man my grandmas been wanting some and i told her while i was in houston with my grandfather and friend we had homemade food everyday, theyre mexican so i ate alot of diffrent food and we made these,but when he made the sauce he cutthem up and added water to the sauce pan stirred it and added milk stirred and the cheeese was actually white shreeded chesse but it tasted good thogh thanks this stirred my memory!

  • m m m sounds so good thanks helped

  • white guys nowadays thinkin they beaner....e_______e'

  • excelent recipe, thank you

  • thanks

  • Great job on this video ^-^.

  • whow !! Im impressed me and my wife were loking for decent way to make chiles the way she does and .. a withe young guy come with the same recipe we made (and my mom) Chers !!1  You rock and thnks!!

  • ahhh u gotta leave all the seed n stuff its hella good... everybodys got their own way tho, looks good

  • I made this a few months ago and WOW, what a hit! The family loved it.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for posting!! I had read a similar, authentic recipe, but when I watched your video, I knew that I would be able to actually do it properly.

    I used hatch peppers, a med-hot pepper which were on sale (the reason I wanted to make chiles rellenos in the first place). I had some trouble with them splitting in a couple other places as I peeled them. Next time I'll make sure that I bake for less time.

    I also filled with some extra black beans per your suggestion and they were great! Cheers!

  • OMG!!! TOO hot for me!! All those chile peppers look like fire to me. You guys are brave.

  • Great video man, you just opened up my appetite. I am gonna follow your instructions, cook and have some nice delicious chiles rellenos. Good work man, keep it up.

  • 100% win on th batter. That's EXACTLY how that bater is made - no flour. Just stiff egg whites and folded in yolks.

  • tomatilo is a gooseberry cousin

  • thank you

  • You need to cover the poblano with flour before the egg this way the egg will stay on the poblano

  • Great chiles rellenos! I am having trouble with the sauce though. Is there a step by step recipe that lists the ingredients and amounts to add? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks, I learned a lot. Muchas Gracias!

  • you can add sliced ham with the Cheese.. taste great!

  • My only complaint is that the link to find you from the Mexican recipe website wasn't easy. Ha ha. But I did and now will subscribe.

  • loved the recipe...i will make this for my family tonight and i am sure they will love it...thanks for sharing......can you also teach us how to make more mexican food...

  • pro instructional vid

  • not only were your chiles impressive but your pronunciation of spanish words. One other tip if you handled the chilies without gloves and your a guy you should pee sitting down. Take it from some1 who learned the hard way. also when your making the Salsa Española at the end you should throw 1 clove of garlic for about 45 seconds then take it out. That was my abuela's recipe. Also adding peas to the Salsa is delicious

  • Buena receta, no se me habia ocurrido usar frijoles, debe tener muy buen sabor

  • I am Mexican, and you can hold your own ... My mother would be proud..

  • Nice. I wish my oven looked as good as yours. Mine's a mess. Thanks for the explanations about the different chillies. We don't use them very much up here in Canada. I like chili peppers. The dish looks great.

  • I really love your recipie it looks delicious I actually like the way you prepare the salsa I never thought I could blend some cilantro in it...is your wife Mexican?

  • Thanks for the info - what a help! I am planning a dinner and had decided to make chile rellenos (since I recently came back from Mexico) but know nothing about making this dish! I was planning to stuff them with shrimp (again, like some I had in Mexico )- do you think I need to cook the shrimp first ? Do you think the poblano chile can be prepared a day ahead - ie. take off skin & remove seeds and keep in fridge overnight? Thanks for your help!!!!

  • When you prepare the entire dish at one time it can be a lot work to clean up, so if you can do part of it in advance that would make it much easier. I would recommend cooking the shrimp first. I would also recommend preparing the chiles and stuffing them in advance, and then you could even lightly dust them with flour and freeze them if you wanted. They would hold the shape better that way, just make sure you keep them hot somehow after frying so it's not cold in the middle. Good Luck!

  • wow pretty good 4 a white gringo lol lol:)

  • i love chiles reyenos my parents have a taco stand and they sell them they are not to complicated to make just a few steps one tip for the egg to hold on the pepper first coat them with flour and them dip them in the egg and fry(they come out much better in my opinion) make sure the oil is not too hot because it will burn the egg and they won't taste as good when done serve them with some mexican rice and beans and if you'd like a little sour cream on the side

  • Sweet! I've been an expert at eating chile rellenos, but also knew how hard they are to make. I like the picadillo ones with xtra heat. Don't discriminate against cheese though.

  • very nice video they look good

  • very nice photo thanks for sharing.

  • I've tried cooking with Jalapeno for the first time and I rubbed my eyes touched my lips....My whole face was on fire!!! It didnt go away till the next morning when I took a shower! Anywho great video! I can't wait to try the recipe!

  • @missypoopoo101 if u get it in ur eyes rub ur eye with ur hair, if u get it on ur lips or mouth put salt on the tip of ur tounge

  • Great job I enjoyed watching your recipe. :)

  • I'm gonna try this right now! I love to order this dish in restaurants you made it look effortless and yes you are super cute thanx for the video so helpful.

  • This is my first attempt at real chile relleno...i grew up on stuffed bell peppers but thought i would give these a whirl. I'm letting my water boil right now :) Im a little apprehensive about the sauce, i hope it comes out good. Anyway great vid, and BTW your real cute!

  • best chile relleno recipe!im a 23 yr old mex/amer .and I think you did the best one out of the other ones I watched.only thing i dont add beans etc only cheese keep it the o.g. way.

  • I tried again and success, 6 for 6! After roasting them, I put the Poblanos in a zip tite bag and let them "sweat" for an hour, then cool in the fridge for another hour. They firmed and were easier to work with! This sweating and cooling is important folks, don't rush this step.

  • everything i cook is authentic, but i still have not tried this dish, my mom tried to teach me with no success, but now i think i can after this video!!! thank u so much!

  • this looks really good! i think i will try this tomorrow!! thanks!

  • Thank you thank you!

  • i want some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for taking the time to post this. I made four of them to start and glad I did not try any more. Stuffing the pepper was like doing brain surgery on a jelly fish, All four ripped apart either while removing the skins or while filling. I think I have to let the baked peppers in the fridge longer. They looked like mush but tasted great! I added Chorizo to the filling.

  • I've been there and seen them like jelly fish as well. If you try it again, make sure the oven broiler is completely hot first, and be sure to keep the oven door open otherwise the inside will cook too much. Sometimes letting them sit in the bag too long will do it too. But if they end up that way, just stick with the cheese wedge for the filling so everything isn't falling out. Good luck!

  • muy muy bueno

    es la mejor reseta de chiles rellenos en you tube

    es muy autentico

  • cool .. i like ur recipe a lot... my momo grills the chile serrano on the stove and when she make the batter she dips the chilles in it... and the serves them in a plate with sour cream on top and some pomegranate seeds on top...

  • great original recepie! :)

  • You should have meantioned not to touch your face earlier. A lot of people just don't use their hands to handle the peppers or wash your hands right away. Pepper in your eyes is incredibly painful. Great instructions. I have omitted the chicken broth. Delish!!

  • What a great recipe!!!

  • hey it me agaim 4 how long u leave the chiles on the oven n how hot the oven have to b?

    thanx SALUDOS!!!!

  • hey i never use da oven i will use it next time n u tri it with chiken

  • Dude your awesome Are you a chef?

  • good tutorial. if you like the chile rellenos you should try the mole poblano its one of my favorite dishes my mom cooks.

  • wow, thanks so much. great video and instructions. hopefully my turns out as well. im asian married my loving mexican husband. he introduced me to chili relleno (he doesnt cook, his mom made them, one of his fav); now i can surprise him. thanks again.

  • THANKYOU BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Really well put together. Easy to follow. The solid cheese idea is something I hadn't heard before, but I see how it makes it so much easier.

  • Thanks.... My wife is Mexican and she can only cook out of a can, or frozen food.

  • @Superstud11 maybe because she is a CHICANA

  • ThanX! They turned out great!!!

    3:34 I don't remove the seeds because they're the best part... kind of like artichoke hearts are the best part of the artichoke.

  • GREAT video!!! Loved the easy directions, annotations and all. I'm gonna make them right now. I've recently heard/read that coating them with flour always makes a better frycoat, so we'll see ;o)

  • They look great. You know I never knew the toothpick trick, of putting the toothpick throught the cheese as well as the chiles. I am going to try it this way next time. It's almost identical to my grandmas recipe.

  • do you live in california? we got great mexican food here....my family makes all the traditional stuff and it's the bomb. keep up the recipes and pass them to the next generation. we do that and it gets better EVERY time. once your family starts praising you all crazy about a certain dish, you'd better want it to stay within the family. it is bound to get better with time.

  • hahahaha you´re so funny hahaha

  • hello im lili from mexico my husband and family loves my chiles rellenos the only thing i will add to the recipe is: WEAR SOME GLOVES WHEN YOU CUTTING THE VENAS FROM THE CHILE JUST LIKE YOU SAID SOME OF THEM COULD BE REALLY SPICY!!

  • i like the way you made the salsa for the chlie rellenos

  • Wow, you really impressed me, im mexican born and raised and you cook the authentic ones, thanks a lot, ill use your recipe to make ones today!!!

  • it looks good, iam about to try it right now:)

  • Who taught you? Good job, just goes to show that you don't have to be mexican to make something authenic. I'm mexican and you impressed the hell out of me..

  • I was blessed with some neighbors from Mexico!

  • There is only one shop in my whole city that sells the right chiles... Bloody Australia and it's lack of Latinos :(

    They didn't have any poblanos so I resorted to the canned ones. They tore apart real bloody easy, but I'm quite drunk right now so I pretty much drank the stuff anyway. The flavour is amazing.

    Cheers for the recipe mate, the flavour took me back to when I travelled through Mexico.

    Good times.

  • great job!

  • Awesome!!! Im making them tomorrow.Thks

  • You did great there, the only problem was washing the chile with water, NEVER do that, because all the natural oils of the chile (flavor) decrease a lot, so instead tap the chile upside down to get rid of the seeds. Im hungry already the sauce looks delicious!

  • Love the Chille Relleno!!!

  • Loved the sauce! Thanks

  • Very nice recipe --- just picked some poblanos from the garden and going to make these tomorrow!

  • tomatillo is related to the cape gooseberry

  • mmmm, great instruction!

  • Great video! You make cooking a hard dish seem very simple. I'm going to try this one night this week. Nice post.

    Casey - GreatChefs

  • Good video. Im mexican, and your vid is making me hungry.

  • That's a lot of flavor!! Never tried Chiles Relleno. Looks delicious! I'm making some of these bad boys this weekend! Maybe with some rice.

  • Chilles Rellenos are awesome!! My mom makes the best ones......Rice is a perfect side dish!! good luck making them, youll LOVE them!!

  • I could take you home any day and have you cook for me;)

  • You should show us the frying step. Otherwise they look delicious.

  • Excellent!!!

  • Excellent!!!

  • Buen video!!!

    From Mexico saludos.

    Thanks

  • does it matter what king of onion you use? can i use da white onion?

  • dont touch myface u are true on thurday me and my girlfriend make some and i touch my eye it hard like a bitch.

  • you are as hot as those chilis!

  • hear hear; my thoughts exactly!

  • You are a great chef in mexican food! wanted to taste those chiles rellenos of yours. good video!

  • i always wondered how 2 make the sauce. Well now i know. THNX! good video good detail

  • This was a bit harder than it initially seemed. Nonetheless, it was fun, this video is educational and I owe you a huge thanks for this man. Your among my short list of youtube Heroes

  • WOW!! you make it look easy.. trying it tonight..

  • damn you know wats up im mexican too.. and your chiles look hella good

  • Like everyone else are saying... I'm also Mexican. And the way you made this is AUTHENTIC, although-- I never used chicken broth, but I'm splitting hairs. Here's a tip with the egg-- to make them stick perfectly, add a teaspoon of flour to the egg batter and dust ever so slightly your chili peppers. You don't want to coat them thickly... just to help the egg batter stick.

  • iam mexican and you made this perfecttt.

  • you are so cool you know how to cook!!!

  • I'm Mexican and you've done a great job !

  • looks great. yumm i'm hungry now:)

  • looks amazing i will be trying it :))

  • awesome job...just like my grandma's!

  • that looks good! hummmm!

  • i guess u made it rancho style with the sauce as a stew.

    but still u r the most normal person who cooks chiles rellenos.

  • Good Job! all the key points are there, thank you for sharing!!

  • Good video! I made them today! Tried anaheim and pablano peppers- both were good but anaheim were more spicy. Twisted the recipe a bit but tasted AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!

  • cookin is fun! i missed the salsa music in the background! jajaja viva mexicooo !!!

  • hey man im mexican and i know how do make chiles rellenos and your really good cooking our food!!!

  • thats a true complement.

  • Hey dud, kewl vid, I bet that lil kido in the background is happy with daddy doing a lot of yummi dishes.

    I give you ten out of ten.

  • Mexican oregano(the flavor/taste of mexico) has a very differant taste.

  • Thanx...I tried your recipe and I tell you they came out sooo good. Great video...hope u post more recipes =)

  • I am doing them today!

  • Excellent video! U were detailed, not only in explaining the steps but in showing them. I LOVE the fact that u put the poblanos in the oven. I used 2 roast mine over an open fire on top of the stove & it just seems 2 take so long that way. It's so much easier in the oven (although I did it that way 1 time & the pepper was 2 soft). I will now go back 2 the oven & just watch CAREFULLY. My family LOVES chiles rellenos! Again, great video. Keep up the good work!

  • They are related to gooseberries.

  • you go dude the first one that really was good looking and explained what i needed to know

  • I too have used your recipe and my fiance (who is from Mexico) has raved about the finished meal when I make em since using your recipe! He has called his sister in Guadalajara to compare her recipe to this one and they are identical! :) love it 5 stars, if you make more dishes I'll favorite them as well!

  • I have made my chile rellenos with your recipe and I have to tell you they are very very good.........

  • Have you tried a spoon of flour in your egg mixture? It'll make the chiles evenly coated.

  • nice dude thats how you do it jaja

    te la rifas jaja

  • five stars man not becuase you're a guy but no offense, becuase your white never thought some one would have does skill i dont even know how to cook them as well as you really impreseve!

  • my family have always used queso fresco i taste better

  • Thank you for this video and also to wenfer63. I'm growing Jalapeno, Polano and Anaheim chilis and I wanted to have a different more authentic cheese. I'm in California my grocery store sells all kinds of different mexican cheese and I didn't know which one to get.

  • since you are in california try CACIQUE queso fresco its not hard to find COSTCO even has it

    good luck

  • That is funny I just checked that is the exact brand I bought. The save mart cross the street from my house sells it. They had El Mexicano and Cacique.

  • I have made these before and let me tell you, I love your version, you explained it very well and did a great job. I love the idea of using the oven to broil them, great idea. I have always used the flame from the grill or a gas stove just because that is how I was taught, So much easier this way, I also do coat them with flour before the egg, so the egg sticks better and evenly. I am going to try this tomorrow using the oven to broil them I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for sharing.

  • Saludos! Although this dish is not "completely' traditional Mexican, I am very impressed with your version. Kudos to you for taking the time to explain the different chiles and their flavor/textures as that is very important. Also, I like your tip of NOT using shredded cheese and putting them in the freezer for a few minutes to make them easier to handle. Your video makes this dish a lot less intimidating to try for people who are not native Mexican. Not bad at all, guerito! Felicidades!

  • not bad for a white boy ..but i want it more mexican style...you kinda anglosized the dish a bit.. but as other viewers pointed out...you forgot (the flour step).Good tips though ..I`m mexican and my wife is about to attempt this dish for the first time. I hope I survive... :) her cooking...provecho!!!

  • Hello, Im impressed that you actually cook a chile relleno very very clouse to the orignal, congratulations but remember to let people know that you need to coat them in flour prior to the egg batter. Felicidades

  • GREAT! =]

  • seeds are NOT good to be eaten, not just for the diverticulitis problems, but also can get stuck in your apendix (I got mine removed and I had straberry and jalapeño seeds in mine) Aww :(

  • you have to use wheat flour to cover the chile before to cover it with the egg, so the egg dont fall down at the time of frying. ;)

  • They look soo good! Thanks for the tips. I would suggest you try using Oaxaca Cheese, believe me you will love Chiles rellenos even more!
